Salt of the Earth

SALT OF THE EARTH
synopsis
Based on an actual strike against the Empire Zinc Mine in New Mexico, the film deals with the prejudice against the Mexican-American workers, who struck to attain wage parity with Anglo workers in other mines and to be treated with dignity by the bosses. In the end, the greatest victory for the workers and their families is the realization that prejudice and poor treatment are conditions that are not always imposed by outside forces.

People’s World has learned of the passing of Anita Torrez. A fuller story is on the way from her comrades in Arizona but for now we reprint the following article in her memory.
This article won a first place award in the Best Profile Story category at the 2020 Labor Media Awards, presented by the International Labor Communications Association.
It’s a lonely two-lane stretch of Arizona desert highway from Phoenix to Tucson. To your left and to your right greenish-brown desert brush, solitary cacti, and tan, rocky valleys and hilltops seem to dance before your eyes. A mirage.
